One of my more enthusiastic Sundays



So this was taken on the last Sunday of the year. Just wanted to share it cos it's one of my 'good outfit' days compared to my very usual jeans, cat t-shirt and baggy cardigan 'Sunday Church Outfit'. So yea. It was a relatively good Sunday. I like the message that day which was about being thankful in all circumstances be it good or bad. Nothing much to say, just an outfit post today. Have a great day.

Outfit: White Top (H&M), Floral High-waisted Skirt (random shop), Black Stockings (Sox World), Ballet Flats (Vincci), Magenta Feather Earrings (Diva)

PS: The 'random shop' is a literal random shop in Summit shopping mall and I bought the skirt for like RM10, and you can't see my earrings sadly but I wore them that day.

The fail



So this picture was taken one morning when I decided to not get out of bed and just play random Digital Chocolate games on my Sony Ericsson W595. Thinking about it now I'm definitely going to miss sleeping in till noon (or like 11.00am) and being able to sleep at 1.30am everyday watching repeats of The Rachel Zoe Project without feeling guilty about it. Though next year is a big year and since I dropped from the frist class in my form to the fourth I'm gonna have to really take prioritizing to a whole other level. So, yea. Have nice day whoever is reading this...

2300 hours

So it's 11.00pm and I'm just here sitting on my very white couch in my living room with the fan making a weird noise. Well it was a relatively good day nothing much to do or say really. Though I just wish i could bring myself  on a one man road trip. Nothing fancy, just my mom's green compact car, a tank full of petrol, a suitcase filled with enough clothes and underwear to last me a week or so and some cash. I guess since the year is coming to an end I still cannot stop reminiscing of the great time I had in camp as well as the friendships I've built and also how truly amazing this year was even if it was a tough one. If you've known me long enough I'm not one to blame the year for being bad because if one wants a year to swiftly for them, they make the effort to make it better. So I guess many of the amazing moments of 2013 happened by chance I thank God for all that He has done and given to me for the past 16 years of my beautiful God-given life. I know this blog post is all over the place jumping from road trips to camp and then talking about my year but I guess I'm in one of those moods where I wanna say something but i don't have anything in particular to say. So this is like 90% of what my brain is holding right now. Though I can't wait to start a new year, even if it seems a little intimidating to be a senior and all that but I'm truly excited because a new year means new experiences, new lessons, new people, new sights, new faith, new everything. So i guess 2013 wasn't as bad as I thought it was. So, yay me. Hope you all out there in the great big world have a blessed new year ahead <3

Joyeux Noël



So I look extremely festive in this get up and let me tell you this is the first time I've done this. I feeel absolutely vain but I guess I wanted to share one of my 'good outfit days' on my blog. So, i went roaming around with Vanessa and Naomi at a local shopping mall and we were all decked out in Santa hats being our 'fun' youthful selves. We started the day with a meal at McD and proceeded to take pictures in front of the mall's restroom which isn't the most glamorous location in the world but it had plain white walls which were a simple backdrop for random photo-taking. So that was pretty much our day in a nutshell. Oh! And before I end this post I want to wish everyone out there a holly jolly Christmas and a happy new year! Have a blessed Christmas everyone!

Outfit: Santa Hat (Vanessa's), Denim Jacket (Seed), Black Tank Top (Peacocks), Dark Red Leather High Waisted Skirt (Cotton On), Black Golden Chained Sling Bag (Cotton On), Slippers (Fitflop)

PS: I wear Fitflop because I have back issues... it kinda helps


All good things come to an end



So I probably don't have the most attractive ankles in the universe but this was taken last night (22/12/2013) marking kakak's last day at work. She was all packed and ready to return to her place of origin. I spent the night at an aunt's house so I could join them bright and early in the morning (4.00am to be exact) to see her off at the airport.It was an extremely emotional time as kakak has been with me since I was 5 years of age. She saw me grow up and has definitely grown to be part of the family. I do hope to see her again one day. The memory of her waving goodbye to me at the airport seems to replay over and over like a never ending gif.

An escape from reality

So venturing out of my comfort zone into something rather different from my usual 'being spoilt by the amenities of the city' kinda thing. 4 days and 3 nights in a church camp themed Bold by my youth group was a refreshing experience and it really touched my heart in so many ways that make me wanna laugh and cry at the same time. Well, basically we resided at El Sanctuary home stay throughout the camp and basically we just carried out all camp activities there as well. The talks were extremely helpful as Pastor Tay covered issues like fear and overcoming it. He wasn't your typical wise man speaker, but he used his life experiences to motivate and encourage us in many different ways which was definitely something that kept me awake during his talks. I also thought that the BGR session was an extremely good one, because as Asians we rarely touch on topics relating BGR. I also enjoyed the time I spent with my devotion group and also playing games (especially captain ball although I'm horrible at it). Other than that I also loved the concept of the wooden chalets that we stayed in which were pretty cute. Plus the food was definitely amazing (sometimes a little too spice but it was really good food), I really loved it though sometimes they would serve me portions which were a tiny bit too big but I was encouraged by Maureen to finish my food! We also had 'Theme
Night' which is basically a night where we dress up according to a theme (this year's theme was WILD WILD WEST) and I was dressed up as a cowgirl :) We did some square dancing, built a teepee, did a charade-ish game and did some more dancing, and it was really fun. At the end of camp I had my feels all over the place, declaring several times that I wouldn't want to leave because I loved it so much, waking up every morning looking forward to another day but I guess camp had to come to an end. I managed to give Pastor Tay and Daniel (the guy who served our food and helps run the place) a note each to express my gratitude :) Well while I was having dinner just now I was just thinking of how fun it would be like to just go back to Malacca again and experience camp all over and it almost got me sobbing. Though I have to say that this camp was by far one of the best camps I've ever attended and I would definitely love to go back to El Sanctuary. It makes the sleepless nights of putting together the Camp Manual worth it because camp was truly amazing. At the end of this post I don't want to forget to thank God for giving me the means to go through this camp with full enthusiasm and also gave me a little spiritual guidance along the way.
